    More like Kingrats. Had a full set. Absolute rubbish. Avoid.

    The last thing seperating you and the road is your tyres spend the extra few quid and get something decent the peace of mind you get from having decent tyres will be worth it one day you will have to jam on and the difference between crashing and stopping in time will be down to what tyres you have try eiretyres.ie or camskill uk good deals to be had but do factor in getting tyres fitted usually around a tenner a corner;).

    What would one say is a good tyre for around 50 euro

    I wouldnt say that there are any good tires for around €50 (not in new tires anyway) but it depends on the size.

    None! Secondhand tyres retail at about €50 . Would you put your life and your passengers at risk.

    Spend a bit more for your own safety?

    Kormoran tyres. There Michilen's budget tyre. Had a set on my old car and I found them ok.

    Not sure if you will get them for 50, but I don't think they would be too much more depending on the size.

    Kormorans can be got new for €50 in 195/65R15 from the local tyre depot and are a decent budget tyre ;)

    Kormorans are a much better tyre in so many ways than Kingrats. If you can get them new for €50 a corner then go for it :)
